3rd Person POV
"One sample of Kara blood fresh out of Midvale." Nia says, walking into the room with Brainy behind her
"Ah! Finally." Alex exclaims
"Why, yes. We did just traverse time and space to get this. No big deal." Brainy says sarcastically
"And thanks to you, we now have the last piece of our rescue mission." Alex says
"Wait. How long were we gone?" Nia asks
"About three days." Kelly says
"Three days, Sprock! I am a terrible time traveler." Brainy says
"We put the time to good use." Lena says. "We're now fully equipped for the Phantom Zone."
"M'gann is already patrolling to protect National City in our absence." J'onn says. "Everything is ready to go."
"All right, well, give me a moment to update the Legion ships so we're not relying on parts D printed in 2009." Brainy says
"That won't be necessary." J'onn tells him before showing Brainy that he transformed the bunker into a ship
"When I first acquired the Tower, I installed some upgrades." J'onn says
"The Tower's a ship." Nia whispers in awe
"I love Martian technology." Alex says with a smile

"We were only able to obtain a small sample of Supergirl's DNA." Brainy tells the group. "This will require all of it."
"So we better make it count." Alex says
"Okay. The Q-wave interface is live." Kelly says
"Our Phantom's got Supergirl's scent." Lena says, watching the Phantom on the camera. "Once we get to the Phantom Zone, his Q-waves will lead us directly to Supergirl's position."
"Impressive." Brainy says. "You guys did all this science stuff without me."
"But what if we run into less tame Phantoms out there?" Nia asks
"The Tower's shields should cloak us, but it's still going to be dangerous." Alex says
"That's because we can't count on the same methods we used to fight the Phantoms here." J'onn says. "Based on what I've learned from Silas and Malefic, the Phantom's powers work differently in their native dimension. There, they attack with Fear Visions, the deepest dread brought to life."
"Like a Dementor." Brainy says
"Or a Boggart." Nia says
"Or Harry's Dementor Boggart." Brainy says. "You understand?"
"Yes. Yeah." Alex says
"So, uh, Kelly, you gonna teach us how to cast a Patronus to fight them?" Nia asks
"Well, all my fear management strategies may not be magic, they are the next best thing." Kelly says. "In therapy, we use grounding techniques to help people regain control in traumatic situations. You start by naming things that you can see, touch, hear, smell, that you know are real."
"Computer, electrons, filtered oxygen." Brainy says. "Pizza residue."
"Okay, that's a good example." Kelly tells him. "And if one of your fears should suddenly show up and they're not one of those things..."
"Then you'll be able to separate the visions from reality." Lena finishes. "Take back control from the Phantoms."
"Right." Kelly says
